The Devil's Sleeping Beauty

"Li Bingbing, can I have a moment with you?" She let go of her husband's arm. Xia Meilin gave her a stern look before she passed her. "Follow me."

With the way Xia Meilin called her, Li Bingbing knew that she was in for an interrogation. "See you later, boys."

The twin brothers were left with each other as they watched their women walk away.

"What can you say about my new girl, bro?" Lu Xian Yu turned to him and grinned.

The coldness in Lu Yifeng's eyes returned when Lu Xian Yu asked him that. "I suggest you stay away from her."

Lu Xian Yu raised an eyebrow at his statement, "You know her?"

Lu Yifeng didn't give him an answer. He just stood there quietly.

Yes, he knew her very well. Li Bingbing was someone dangerous in his previous life that almost killed his brother after the news about Xia Meilin's death spread. How would he be able to forget someone who took his brother's life?

Meanwhile, Xia Meilin and Li Bingbing went away from the crowd towards the balcony.

"Explain." Xia Meilin said the moment they reached the balcony.

With this one word, Li Bingbing sighed. "That night, he knocked on my door. I kicked him and he got his revenge a few days later. Since he had the upper hand at that time, I asked for a truce. We ended up becoming friends."

Li Bingbing wasn't the type to give others a long explanation so she went straight to the point, leaving the details out.

"Then what was that kiss earlier?" Xia Meilin didn't doubt her even one bit. "Friends don't act so intimately with each other."

"Yes, they do." Li Bingbing took a sip from her glass of wine before answering, "I'm getting the benefit of being his friend. He helps me quench my womanly needs, he cooks for me. In return, I provide a safe place for him to stay. Besides, he's really great in bed so it's a win-win situation for both of us."

Xia Meilin furrowed her brows as she frowned. "He's a dangerous man, Bingbing. He has slept with countless girls!"

She chuckled, "You think I didn't know that?"

Xia Meilin pursed her lips. She was only worried about her best friend's safety and feelings. What if she ended up falling for him? It would definitely leave Li Bingbing's heartbroken.

"Don't worry, he's clean." She leaned against the terrace and smiled at her. "He can sleep with any girl he wants, I can even watch if he allows me to. I would never fall for him, Meimei. He's not my type. I have only one man in my heart."

Xia Meilin went and stood beside her. "Do you... still love him?"

Li Bingbing looked at her glass of wine, the sadness in her eyes clearly visible when Xia Meilin asked this. "I can't help it. He's still single after we broke up. He has never dated other women." She chuckled softly. Her strong and fearless face became gentle. "You know how I tried to forget him. I tried dating other men but... I ended breaking up with them because I couldn't forget him."

Xia Meilin turned and looked at the celebration inside. She saw Lu Xian Yu was surrounded by girls and by the looks of it, he was flirting with them.

"So you're using him as a distraction?"

"No. I will use my babe to make my hubby realize that I'm worth more than his work!" She smirked. "How dare he replace me with his work?!"

"You're playing with fire, Bingbing." Xia Meilin sighed.

Li Bingbing turned to her with a playful smile on her face. "Don't worry, I have a fire extinguisher with me."

Xia Meilin could only shake her head while chuckling. "You're crazy."

She admires Li Bingbing for being so brave but sometimes, she can't help but worry since it could be dangerous for her, especially now, as she's using a dangerous man like Lu Xian Yu.

Li Bingbing rested her head on Xia Meilin's shoulder while looking at the people from the entrance of the balcony. It was until she saw someone which made her straightened her back. "He has arrived."

"Yeah. Brother will definitely attend this kind of events." Xia Meilin took a quick glance at her to check her reactions.

"He still looks as handsome as ever. I can't wait to get my hands on him again." Li Bingbing held Xia Meilin's arm and grinned. "Let's go greet him."
